About Karen Pickering

Our first visit to Madeira was for our Honeymoon 30+ years ago and we have been returning ever since. It was our visit last Christmas in which we found the house and are extremely happy to share it with you. We live in the UK, have one Son and are both working professionals.

Karen Pickering purchased this villa in 2015

Why Karen Pickering chose Madeira

We have been travelling to Madeira for 30 years and have taken great care to obtain a property which suits the high expectations of visitors to Madeira.

What makes this villa unique

It was watching the cruise ships on New Years eve from the terrace which convinced us that this was the right property for us. We had been searching in this area for many years and the view sealed the deal !

Spotless modern home with spectacular views and convenient location

If you want to explore Funchal on foot then this is the ideal location. It's on the eastern edge of the old town in a quiet part of town with amazing views over the bay. A small road only separates the property from the cliff face! The bakers and a small Spa shop are 5 minutes walk away. The modern centre of town is 15-20 minutes away.

The property is modern, clean and has a spacious open plan living area. The bedrooms are well proportioned both with en-suites. The outside area is south facing meaning you have the best of the sun all day.

The owners are extremely helpful and respond quickly to any requests.

Highly recomended and no hesitation in returning.

The old town villa

We were so lucky to have found such a fantastic property. The villa is well equipped with all household goods provided from dish washer tablets to shampoo. Raphael the taxi driver that Karen engages was very knowledgeable and helpful, taking our bags up the steep steps to the property where we were met by Mirela the house keeper who was so welcoming and insisted on making us a lovely cup of coffee, and ensuring that everything was to our liking. A welcome pack was provided with basics such as bread and cheese and wine! A special thank you to Karen who was very accommodating regarding vacating the property allowing us to stay on for longer as we had a late flight. If this is the standard of homeaway properties I will not go back to using more established companies

Owner's Response: Thank you for your wonderful review. With many people opting to only carry hand luggage we have tried to provide all the essentials so that guests do not have to carry additional liquids through the airport or bulky dressing gowns and towels which soon fill a small case. Rafael and Mirela take great pride in looking after our guests and its especially nice for them to be recognised for this. We all hope to welcome you back to the house in the future. Karen, Mike and the team.

A gem of a property.

A wonderful property with everything you could need and more besides. Very smart and modern and kept meticulously clean and tidy. Mirela is a wonderful housekeeper and most welcoming and helpful. Location ideal for visiting old town Funchal with plenty of charming restaurants and bars nearby.

Superb villa on a beautiful island

The villa is spacious, extremely well equipped, stylish and immaculate. The location is ideal, in the characterful old town area, overlooking the ocean with many good restaurants and shops within easy walking distance and the harbour and beautiful town centre not much further.

The sun deck provides a comfortable and private space to relax after exploring the island. We found the sub-tropical scenery stunning and the islanders friendly and welcoming. We visited the tropical gardens, the market, the Madeira winery and walked along the levadas (water channels) and in the mountains.

We have no hesitation in recommending this villa and we look forward to returning.

Owner's Response: Thank you for your review it sounds like you had a full agenda and enjoyed the beauty the island has to offer. We look forward to welcoming you back in the future.

EPIC!

Without doubt the most relaxing holiday I have had, primarily owing to the fantastic accommodation and relaxing scenery. This gem on the coast really did tick every box. Clean, comfortable and very pleasant on the eye. The facilities provided are amazing. The small things you would not ordinarily find in a villa are all catered for here. Hand in hand with the facilities comes the location which is only a 5 minute stroll from the heart of Old Town.

Highly recommended for couples and families alike! I will definitely be returning!
